ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
High-power short-duration (HPSD) ablation has emerged as an alternative to conventional standard-power long-duration (SPLD) ablation. We aim to assess the efficacy and safety of HPSD versus SPLD for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.METHODS:
A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) retrieved from PubMed, WOS, SCOPUS, EMBASE, and CENTRAL were performed through August 2023. We used RevMan V. 5.4 to pool dichotomous data using risk ratio (RR) and continuous data using mean difference (MD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). PROSPERO ID CRD42023471797.RESULTS:
We included six RCTs with a total of 694 patients. HPSD was significantly associated with a decreased total procedure time (MD -22.88 with 95% CI [-36.13, -9.63], P = 0.0007), pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) time (MD -19.73 with 95% CI [-23.93, -15.53], P < 0.00001), radiofrequency time (MD -10.53 with 95% CI [-12.87, -8.19], P < 0.00001). However, there was no significant difference between HPSD and SPLD ablation with respect to the fluoroscopy time (MD -0.69 with 95% CI [-2.00, 0.62], P = 0.30), the incidence of esophageal lesions (RR 1.15 with 95% CI [0.43, 3.07], P = 0.77), and the incidence of first pass isolation (RR 0.98 with 95% CI [0.88, 1.08], P = 0.65).CONCLUSION:
HPSD ablation was significantly associated with decreased total procedure time, PVI time, and radiofrequency time compared with SPLD ablation. On the contrary, SPLD ablation was significantly associated with low maximum temperature.
